The BioMetal “Musclewire” RC-M1 is the latest version of the servo actuator based on “SmartServo Technology”. The RC-1 is micro and super light because it does not have any motor, voice coil and piezoelectric element. BioMetal Fiber is an advancement of shape memory “musclewire” that has been developed by TOKI Japan. Contractile BioMetal Fiber provides the motion on this innovative servo and it does not cause vibration, mechanical noise, or electromagnetic noise. It is driven with the signal and power supply of a standard digital proportional receiver unit.
The actuator element of the RC-1 is a metallic artificial muscle fiber, (BioMetal Fiber, BMF). This is a specialist servo for the indoor and small model market. The RC 1 comes with a JST connector and can be connected to the small plugs used with the likes of the 1.1gram Plantraco 900 Receiver. The servo gives a 30 degree proportional movement and is the smallest servo of its type manufactured. It is lightweight and has good torque.
